After joining the site , I have to admit , I'm bitten by the 'cycling bug' again

I try and avoid the for sale forums but jeez its hard , I'm like a kid in a candy shop

Now , I've started to look around and see what's available , from the like's of ebay , gumtree and the like, but never thought of looking in the local lock up at work

Now apart from all the 'modern junk' and piles of poo , amongst which I spotted a old black mtb , think it was a steel frame , maybe with a titanium fork ? with what looked like round to 'squashed tubes' along the top tube and the bottom tube, into the bottom bracket area

Upon further rummaging I noted it had a mixture of shimano xt and I'm not sure but a campagnolo crank on , a threaded headset , cantilever black shimano brakes at the front , and 'SE' ? brakes at the rear does this ring any bells with what it might be ?

(I have left a note on the bike to ask the owner if its for sale and what is it )

Sticking my neck out massively here on the description you have given it sounds like it might be a Kona Explosif they had ovalised (squashed)tubing, pewter project 2's could look vaguely titanium, the SE brake is a Pedersen design 'Self Energising' maybe Suntour XC pro.

kermitgreenkona88 thanks for the input, I do not think the forks were a project fork as the ones I have seen on this forum are all straight bladed and the forks on this bike were curved , could be wrong though.

Hoping its something nice , I'll be back at work tomorrow so maybe be a message waiting for me
